Design for Climate Adaptation

The book provides new perspectives from leading researchers accentuating and examining the central role of the built environment in conceiving and implementing multifaceted solutions for the complex challenges of climate change, revealing critical potentials for architecture and design to contribute in more informed and long-term ways to the urgent transition of our society. The book offers a compilation of peer-reviewed papers that uniquely connects knowledge broadly across practice and academia, from the newest technologies and methods to indigenous knowledge, community engagement, techniques for ecosystem regeneration, nature-based solutions, and more.   The book is part of a series of six volumes that explore the agency of the built environment in relation to the SDGs through new research conducted by leading researchers. The series is led by editors Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Martin Tamke in collaboration with the theme editors: - Design for ClimateAdaptation: Billie Faircloth and Maibritt Pedersen Zari- Design for Rethinking Resources: Carlo Ratti and Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen (Eds.)- Design for Resilient Communities: Anna Rubbo and Juan Du (Eds.)- Design for Health: Arif Hasan and Christian Benimana (Eds.)- Design for Inclusivity: Magda Mostafa and Ruth Baumeister (Eds.)- Design for Partnerships for Change: Sandi Hilal and Merve Bedir (Eds.)
